Got a call but they didn't leave any message. When I rang back, the number showed up as unknown. Looks like it’s likely some scam from an Asian number.

There was just a single ring and it cut off. I didn't pick up since I didn't recognise the number.

Got three calls ringing all at once from these numbers: +441215291692, +442031908783, and +447309469729. I picked up one, said hello, but there was just silence on the other end before they abruptly hung up. Definitely feels like spam or some sort of scam to me!

Got three calls at once from these numbers: +442031908783, +441215291692 and +447309469729. Picked up one of them today, said hello but no one responded, then the call just ended out of nowhere! Seems like a spam or some kind of scam to me.

They phoned me but never bothered to leave any message.

They rang me but didn’t bother to leave any message.

Everytime you block one number, they just ring from a different one. Never pick up, it’s just a waste of time.

Got another automated call, but no message was left on the voicemail.

Got a call from someone saying they were with o2 offering to send a new sim card, felt fishy straight away, so I just played along to keep them hanging. Definitely a scam.

My phone showed it as possible spam so I just ignored it. Never picked up.

I didn’t pick up since I didn’t recognise the number.

Got a call from some guy claiming he was from a nearby energy firm, trying to get me to sign up for some dodgy deal. Absolutely sounded like a total con.

Got a call from this number and my phone flagged it as a possible scam. That was enough for me to hang up. Sounds like they try to catch your voice to steal your identity or something. Just a heads up, watch out for these scams, report them if you can, and block the number to avoid any hassle!

Got a call from someone with a foreign accent saying they were from Sky, asking if I had any issues with their service.

01832400036 Got a call from this Clopton number and didn’t answer at first. Later I checked online and saw all sorts of opinions, so I decided to block it. Seems it’s linked to estate agents, surveys, and property maintenance... Definitely suspicious stuff in my book. I might get a ring if a local builder called, like ‘Hey, your chimney’s a bit dodgy, want me to sort it?’ But when it’s someone from miles away, it just sets off warning bells for me.

Got a call on my landline but they didn’t leave any message, so I’m guessing it’s just another scam.

Got a call from this number and I wasn’t expecting it. Feels a bit dodgy, to be honest.

Picked up but no one spoke. Gonna block this number from now on.

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise. Didn’t pick up and they didn’t leave any voicemail either. Not sure if it was sales or just spam. Anyway, blocked the number, reported it, and then removed it from my phone.

I've been getting loads of calls from different London area codes, and it looks like they're all connected somehow.

Beware of the housing disrepair scams floating around. There’s loads of info online warning people, with plenty of sensible tips to dodge them. If you come across any dodgy calls, definitely report them to the official police and OfCom sites set up by the government to track and tackle these things. You’ll find the links on a post about 8 down from here. Also, don’t ignore the voice cloning scam going about. Loads of people who reckon they’re pretty sharp are falling for this new AI trick, and it’s likely to cause problems down the line. There’s plenty of advice available online from the police about it too. It’s far better to stop it before it starts – scammers only need a quick clip of your voice, like 3 seconds, to start causing trouble. There are at least four different ways they could snag your voice – not all apply to everyone, but it’s smart to be aware of how they might try.

Had a call but blocked it straight away 'cause it showed up as spam, so no clue who it was.

After going through all the comments, I decided to block the number. Really useful advice, cheers!

They rang me but I just didn’t pick up, and there was no voicemail left either.

Ringing back numbers you don’t recognise is honestly a daft move for loads of reasons. Scammers churn out countless fake numbers using computers and call people at random from places like Russia or India. When you return the call, usually it just goes to a dead or unreachable tone. But if it doesn’t, you’re in trouble. Your call might get redirected to an expensive international premium line, or your number might get flagged as an easy target for more scams down the line. Worst of all, they could record your voice and use AI to make a fake copy of it – look up ‘voice cloning scams’ if you don’t believe me. Plus, lots of these bogus numbers actually belong to innocent folk, so your call might upset a poor stranger and your number could end up listed here or reported as spam by texting 7726. So, really, just don’t bother calling back.
